Toyota Center introduces greatest invention in food service since mankind discovered fire - Houston Chronicle
The Grub Tub holds 44 ounces of food, so it's packing a lot of trunk space. Grub Tub meals come atop one of four different collectible plastic cups commemorating the Rockets' 50th season. Grub Tubs were invented by RP & Associates, a restaurant-supply company in Hermosa Beach, Calif. Rockets souvenir cups fit in car cup holders. Grub Tubs are adjustable and fit securely on various size cups and bottles - even beer bottles if you want to drink beer through a straw, you weirdo. Toyota Center benefits because now one fan can order two meals and two drinks and carry them away without creating an Exxon Valdez spill. Customers aren't trying to balance 16 items on their arms like a veteran waitress at a truck-stop diner. [...] that's not including the cigarette in her mouth. Classic Tavern Burger, served with Bibb lettuce, tomato, Budweiser dressing and cheddar cheese ($13). Hot & Furious Burger, topped with habanero pickled onions, ghost pepper salsa, pan-fried serrano peppers and jalapeño mayo ($13). Warning: only available at club-level concessions. [...] this season, Laurel D'Antoni, wife of head coach Mike D'Antoni, whomped up Shrimp alla Buzara, a dish similar to shrimp scampi but with a jolt of tomato sauce.
